Radu Jude, Abdellatif Kechiche Head to Locarno as Swiss Fest Announces Lineup: An ‘Ambitious and Exciting Edition’
Jean-Stephane Bron, Jafar Panahi, Bill Condon feature in Locarno's Piazza Grande sidebar.
Among all the 17 world premieres in Locarno’s main International Competition, Abdellatif Kechiche will continue his controversial saga with “Mektoub, My Love: Canto Due” – a decision that has already been hotly debated by people watching the announcement online – and Rivers will focus on “Mare’s Nest.” Hana Jušić will prove why “God Will Not Help,” while Miguel Gomes’ collaborator Maureen Fazendeiro will welcome “The Seasons.” She has “a few teeth, a very rich grandmother and a beautiful, dangerous and disruptive mother.” But an encounter with two peers, sisters Azzurra and Marta, will teach her “how to become a child.” This Emma Films and Cinédokké production marks the feature debut of the Italian directors, who co-wrote the script with Maria Sole Limodio. Behind “All the Long Nights,” “Small, Slow but Steady” and “Playback,” also shown at Locarno, Miyake takes on works by celebrated manga artist Yoshiharu Tsuge, “Mister Ben of the Igloo” and “A View of the Seaside.” The film follows Li, a screenwriter played by Shim, who embarks on a journey of self-reflection following a chance meeting with Benzo.
